One of the ways the enemy tries to get us distracted from our purpose and destiny is to convince us that we are not valuable and uniquely needed. There is such an incredible need for what God has placed inside of you that the body of Christ is not complete without what you bring to the table. John 1:12-13 says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but Of God!" Listen to how the mirror translation puts it: "Everyone who realizes their association in Him, convinced that He is their original life and that His name defines them, in them He endorses the fact that they are indeed His offspring, begotten of Him; He sanctions the legitimacy of their son-ship. These who discover their genesis in God beyond their natural conception! Man began in God. We are not the invention of our parents!"
We are an intended, planned, thought out, and extremely valuable piece of a beautiful mosaic of the Fathers' love. If we are not intentional about connecting with the loving Father who has made a foolproof way to have intimacy with Him, our life on earth will be substandard at best. Jesus did not come and suffer on the cross and go through hell for you just to one day slip into heaven. No, He purposefully intended to put heaven back into you by what Jesus accomplished so you could fulfill your heavenly mandate here on earth. You ARE needed in the economy of the kingdom of God.
Ask the Lord this week to show you in the bible and through a revelation/understanding in your heart that He unconditionally loves you, accepts you (Ephesians 1:6) and has great purposes and plans for you. These are ( 2 Peter 1:2-4) waiting to be fulfilled by you simply believing His word and receiving His Grace and Mercy in your heart! Will you receive it starting today?
